Editorial
The first Hollywood Vietnam war film directed by a veteran of the conflict, Oliver Stone’s visceral classic confronts the barbarity of combat and the plight of innocent civilians with shocking realism. Resisting flag-waving valor, Platoon douses the myth of American exceptionalism in blood and mud.
